The nearly complete bipartite graph $G(m,n,k)$ is obtained by removing $k$ independent edges from the complete bipartite graph $K_{m,n}$. In this paper, we prove that for any nearly complete bipartite graph $G(m,n,k)$ with $m, n\geq 3$, and…

Given a graphical degree sequence ${\bf d}=(d_1,\ldots, d_n)$, let $G(n, {\bf d})$ denote a uniformly random graph on vertex set $[n]$ where vertex $ i$ has degree $d_i$ for every $1\le i\le n$. We give upper and lower bounds on the joint…

Kim and Vu made the following conjecture (\textit{Advances in Mathematics}, 2004): if $d\gg \log n$, then the random $d$-regular graph $\mathcal G(n,d)$ can asymptotically almost surely be "sandwiched" between $\mathcal G(n,p_1)$ and…

Given an $n\times n$ symmetric matrix $W\in [0,1]^{[n]\times [n]}$, let $\mathcal{G}(n,W)$ be the random graph obtained by independently including each edge $jk$ with probability $W_{jk}$. Given a degree sequence ${\bf d}=(d_1,\ldots,…

We provide sufficient conditions for a regular graph $G$ of growing degree $d$, guaranteeing a phase transition in its random subgraph $G_p$ similar to that of $G(n,p)$ when $p\cdot d\approx 1$. These conditions capture several well-studied…

A triangle decomposition of a graph is a partition of its edges into triangles. A fractional triangle decomposition of a graph is an assignment of a non-negative weight to each of its triangles such that the sum of the weights of the…

Let $G$ be a graph on $n$ vertices and let $k$ be a fixed positive integer. We denote by $\mathcal G_{\text{$k$-out}}(G)$ the probability space consisting of subgraphs of $G$ where each vertex $v\in V(G)$ randomly picks $k$ neighbors from…

We provide a degree condition on a regular $n$-vertex graph $G$ which ensures the existence of a near optimal packing of any family $\mathcal H$ of bounded degree $n$-vertex $k$-chromatic separable graphs into $G$. In general, this degree…

We prove that the property of containing a $k$-regular subgraph in the random graph model $G(n,p)$ has a sharp threshold for $k\ge3$. We also show how to use similar methods to obtain an easy prove for the (known fact of) sharpness of…

When $k|n$, the tree $\mathrm{Comb}_{n,k}$ consists of a path containing $n/k$ vertices, each of whose vertices has a disjoint path length $k-1$ beginning at it. We show that, for any $k=k(n)$ and $\epsilon>0$, the binomial random graph…

The binomial random bipartite graph $G(n,n,p)$ is the random graph formed by taking two partition classes of size $n$ and including each edge between them independently with probability $p$. It is known that this model exhibits a similar…

The theory of dense graph limits comes with a natural sampling process which yields an inhomogeneous variant G(n,W) of the Erdos-Renyi random graph. Here we study the clique number of these random graphs. We establish the concentration of…

We introduce and study the Bicolored $P_3$ Deletion problem defined as follows. The input is a graph $G=(V,E)$ where the edge set $E$ is partitioned into a set $E_r$ of red edges and a set $E_b$ of blue edges. The question is whether we can…
